Been off grid for a short while, and its been great, free from stress and strains with simple folk doing simple things and not missing contact with the hub of society and technology one bit. Then; back to reality and it just starts all over again. First faced with a questionnaire, well a security clearance form, required for security clearance to work for our dear old government on their buildings. Now what the FERK have my co-habiting habits got to do with leaky downpipes and the like ???

That’s it I’m off again my favourite soapbox “ our surveillance society” well mr security clearwer check your ferking screens and database, you will see that I drove my car 127.8 miles this morning 32% in traffic jams (so you had plenty of time to read the regiastration number on you ANPR cameras, check my average speed for at least two junctions, and not forgetting scan my tax disc numerous times to see if my insurance mot and tax were up to date , therefore you have my entire history of home ownership as well as details of my debit card payment for the last lot of car tax.

Ohh not forgetting the swipe of my card as I entered your cctv strew public transport system where you log my ins and outs on trains and tubes. Why on earth would I wish to fill in the information you require just to add to another database link.

And the question on financial status…put your own ferking house in order first !!!!

Ahh well one day perhaps I will dissolve and remove the links in one swoop and live simply and happily …

That reminds me the next John Twelve Hawks novel is out tomorrow….more anti establishment posts may follow …. Oh and theres the other question have I ever been a member of …… and have I ever had a budgie that supported CND…..
